It was night again and as
I felt for your presence in

Darkness not yet complete,
Yawning stillness forced me to

Consider the warm contemplation
Seen earlier in your eyes.

Calculated to a degree to hasten
To a fever pitch; to feel slowly,

Then hear the rushing moon
Breathing across a light-riddled sky.

Cutting slivers of fleshy passion;
Forcing raw explanations again,

As the room rolls majestically,
Musically, in its own rhythmic

Order of life; reborn, renewed,
And life gathers us in closer,

To face yet again the truths we
Try to hide in pale sunlight.
